Chapter Summary

This chapter presents a concise commentary on the chapter 37 of Historia Apollonii Regis Tyri (HA) which follows the chapter division of the Latin text. The two recensions (RA and RB) are compared line by line, generally given preference to RA. The commentary disagrees fundamentally with the study of E. Klebs, Die Erzahlung von Apollonius aus Tyrus, Berlin 1899, this disagreement is often confined to the statement: Klebs aliter. Where possible and relevant, the author has also included the commentary of G. Schmeling, 'Notes to the Text of the Historia Apollonii Regis Tyri', Latomus 53 (1994), Part I (pp. 132-53), Part. II (pp. 386-403). The two opponents mentioned above (Klebs, Schmeling) have now been joined by a third, namely G. Garbugino, Enigmi della Historia Apollonii Regis Tyri (Testi e manuali per l'insegnamento universitario del Latino, no. 82), Bologna 2004.
